Please help me with my bedroom?
1.Curtains are dark blue , are they too dark ? They're a gorgeous linen if that makes any difference :) and I think I know in my heart they're too dark..:(
2.Should I paint the chest of drawers and if so what colour?
3.What style of bedside tables would you put in ? And lamp ?
4.Roman blind for the the little window to the right of drawers? Any thoughts on style / colour of fabric?
Any other suggestions on how to finish the room would be gratefully appreciated ...thanks .

Please help me with my bedroom
Comments (70)My first thought is that the bed looks a little close to the furniture across from the foot of it. I might try the bed on the window wall and instead of the piece on the wall that has the door, eliminate it and get two bedside table pieces with storage to accommodate whatever you were going to store in the piece across from the foot of the bed in your plan. I like beige and gray schemes in the bedroom too, and find some live green plants add a perfect spot of color, or perhaps a kind of acid green silk texture throw pillow. My suggestion is to browse Houzz photos and save the color schemes that you really love! Adding something sparkly will pep up a design that you think is too monochromatic as well - some silver or crystal bling? I added some bling-y chandeliers on either side of the bed in one of my bedrooms, which is fairly monochromatic in beige and gray tones. Some of the throw pillows also have a silvery touch in them....See MoreBedroom Layout help
Comments (30)One plan - thank you thank you thank you... I have been at work all day earning £ to pay for this little lot and have only just seen your plans and advice. Your quick(??) sketch up shows exactly what I was thinking but couldn't visualise. It looks great. What width would you advise is the minimum for the walk in to allow movement space ? It has even prompted the man of the house to get his tape measure out which is good ! This would definitely give us the most storage space of all our options. So now there are 3 options To weigh up. 1. Walk in - Will throw current symmetry of room, but will definitely give the most hidden storage space (perfect as we also need linen and towel storage for the house within this room somewhere). Assuming cost will be studded wall, plastering plus internal fittings. 2. Alcove wardrobes - Will maintain symmetry of the room, will give the least storage of all options. Probably the most expensive option as will require bespoke alcoves with internal fittings. May install fireplace/ dressing table to chimney breast. 3. Wardrobe bank along wall opposite chimney. This would maintain symmetry of alcoves. I think storage would probably be somewhere between the other 2 options. Maybe more potential to get wardrobe company in to have a look. I like the look of the handle less ones shown above. Would leave option of bed on wall either as you come into the room or on the chimney breast. Luciana - thanks for your measurements - really helpful. I will add them onto our plan to check how the space works. I'm in Bristol - which Italian company did you use ? Those fittings are really lovely. I'm not sure where else to source just the interior bits. All - we have the most fabulous carpenter - retired guy who doesn't charge the earth and also just does a few jobs to keep himself out of his wife's hair ! Perfect - he's been one of the finds of our job - a real gem. Really appreciate all the advice - I'm going over to see how monk0104 is getting on with her kitchen plan. What fun this is !!...See MorePlease Help Me Improve My Bedroom.
Comments (4)Hi Tino! I see what you mean, it is missing a little something. A few things you could do: 1) You mentioned a grey-yellow-white theme and your inspiration pic also goes that way but in your actual room there is no sign of the yellow. What it would do is bring depth and points that your eyes will naturally focus on when you look at your room. When you don't have that it's easy to feel like the room is plain. Especially if you look at your third picture (just the bed) it's very pastel, almost faded so bring some contrast. 2) Your light fitting to me is just too plain, it's very standard looking so I would go for something a little more unique, without going crazy of course but even a glass one for example like this: Available here: https://www.hutsly.com/collections/lighting/products/warsaw-glass-globe-pendant-light 3) The third thing is that currently your bed is a little lost in the room, against a white background. I would add bedisde tables and table lamps and more importantly I would put wall art up, maybe a couple of square pictures above the bed or one large one. That will also instantly change the feel of the room. Maybe something geometric to tie in with your (very cool btw) carpet. Available here: https://www.hutsly.com/collections/wall-art/products/agadir-canvas So something a bit like this (excuse the poor Photoshopping!): Hope that helps a bit, Anthony....See MorePlease help me design my bedroom

7 years agoHave you considered a feature wallpaper on the bed wall, maybe something to tie in with your blue curtains? The picture below isn't necessarily my choice but it does show how a wallpaper could look with the wood of your bed and some coordinating bedding.

7 years agoHi. I like Mandy's idea of wallpaper to break up the blue a little with perhaps an off white background. I'm not sure what style of papers you like but this is a Sanderson one by John Lewis. I think if you move the chest you should still have plenty of room for a bed end stool which could look nice and draped with a throw etc would add softness. I'd add a little of the blue to the bed for cushions etc, you can add other patterns as shown here if wanted, but also pale biscuit in different textures to add warmth and tie in with the carpet. I sound like I'm copying the picture now (!) but some faux flowers in a pink or orange tone would add a bit of colour. You could look at French style bedside tables which would tie in with the bed style. Is the pendant light new?
